Bosa (foot) took part in practice during OTAs on Monday, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports. Bosa remained sidelined after suffering a foot injury in Week 11 against the Packers and finished out the 2023 campaign on IR. The veteran pass rusher has been severely hampered by injuries the last two seasons, appearing in just 14 total contests. His ability to take part in voluntary workouts this early in the offseason should be good news for his health and the Chargers as the 2024 campaign approaches.

Bosa (foot) took part in practice during OTAs on Monday, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports. Bosa remained sidelined after suffering a foot injury in Week 11 against the Packers and finished out the 2023 campaign on IR. The veteran pass rusher has been severely hampered by injuries the last two seasons, appearing in just 14 total contests. His ability to take part in voluntary workouts this early in the offseason should be good news for his health and the Chargers as the 2024 campaign approaches.
Bosa (foot) restructured his contract and will remain with the Chargers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Scheduled for $22 million in non-guaranteed compensation in 2024 and $25.36 million next year, Bosa was oft-mentioned as a potential cap casualty or trade target. He and fellow edge rusher Khalil Mack both ended up restructuring their contacts before roster bonuses were due later this week, giving them a third season to work together chasing quarterbacks. Mack has played in every game since joining the team, while Bosa has missed 20 of a possible 34 contests, including the final seven games of the 2023 season due to a foot sprain. The 28-year-old returned to practice on a limited basis in late December, so it's entirely possible he's already back to full health/strength before the start of offseason. A healthier year from Bosa would go a long way, though the Chargers still appear frightfully thin in the front seven apart from their duo of star edge rushers.
Bosa exited in the first quarter and has since been deemed unable to return. The star pass rusher was carted off the field and later stood on the sidelines with crutches and a walking boot, per Daniel Popper of The Athletic, so he may be dealing with a serious injury. More should be known about Bosa's injury later Sunday.
Bosa was carted back to the locker room after limping to the sidelines in the first quarter of Sunday's contest, per Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times. Tuli Tuipulotu, a 2023 second-round pick, is expected to see more work on the Chargers' defensive line with Bosa back in the locker room.
Bosa got to Tyson Bagent on a third down on the Bears' first drive of the game that forced Chicago to punt the ball away. Bosa is now up to four sacks on the season and has surpassed his 2022 total of 2.5. He played 38 defensive snaps in Sunday's game which was the second straight contest of reaching 37 or more snaps on defense. Bosa was dealing with a toe issue that held him out of Week 4, so his snap count could increase as the season progresses.
